One-Thousand-Twenty-Four-Bit Heavily Encrypted Opinions

Hey everyone,

As some of you may have heard (through either some reputable news source, or maybe perhaps through your local town douchebags blog), the National Assembly of Venezuela, which acts as the legislative branch there, has recently had a referndum pass by a close 54% vote that would allow the president to run for unlimited terms, and if ( Read more... )

Facts are borrowed heavily from Wikipedia, but the information was compiled into essay form entirely by me.

OMG, WHAT A FUCKING BRILLIANT ADDITION TO THE FLOW OF GREAT IDEAS WE ARE TRYING TO INCUBATE HERE IN MY COMMENTS SECTION TO A VERY ENLIGHTENED POST.

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO GENEROUS WITH YOUR GRACIOUS AMOUNT OF INTELLIGENCE.

You know, anyone else would have just left sarcasm like an asshole.

Hey, I'm not the one trying to prove something ;).

I'm not the attacker here. I like my mind, and don't feel threatened when presented with someone elses viewpoints!

This discussion has gotten me REALLY wet!

And I love your sarcasm. It's really superior to everything I've ever heard ;).

Yeah, it's hard to know what it's like down there without some heavy duty investigation that I simply don't care to do.

I don't think that unlimited terms, by itself, is necessarily a bad thing.... but if Chavez is corrupt and is stealing elections then it IS a bad thing.

That's what I was trying to say...

It may have come off differently. But its literally up in the air with me. So I would have to play devils advocate if I took EITHER side. Thankfully I'm on neither :).

For those who haven't chosen to go to school, either because they're too cool for it and can compensate by formulating their separate but equal opinions right out of thin air, or because they feel that once you sit in a chair with a desk attached to it, you're automatically bombarded with irreversible and unresistable mind control rays thast change you as a person in your very core

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!! OWNED!!!!

Making comments about me not going to school, yet voicing my opinion is like SO LAST YEAR!!!!!!!

Now, personally, I've been up all night realyl trying to decide where I stand on the issue. You see, Chavez seems to be the only one who cares about the poor, disenfranchised, and unfortunate people of his country. He claims that he hopes to lift them from their poverty and ashes into a better place. Of course I'm not so naive as to imagine he's succeeding and loved by everyone.I completely agree with you! But I have to point out that I think, through my uneducated foggy vision, that this kind of power has the potential for abuse ( ... )

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both
victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere
veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as
the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once
vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,
stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin
vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious
violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held
as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day
vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of
verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my
verygood honor to meet you and you may call me V.

We will play it! I have to buy another card for 13 months this time, and I think I'm going to try a Netflix account, and probably hop in with B-mann and Cory.

This was fun, though it got a little personal (which wasn't my intention. You did read a little far into that Holiday Inn Express thing, though I knew I was fucking with a hornet's nest when I posted it.)

Anyway, hope the new job is cool, and hopefully I'll also see ya Friday.

Yea I don't usually go the "personal" route. I'm not proud of the fact that I haven't gone to school, nor that I'm not supporting myself. Just for the record. Its actually a shameful part of my life.

So I removed the posts in question, that insighted this situation.

Sorry for the insults. I'm usually a peace keeper.
